That is why the practice of compassion is a very wonderful practice.

It is possible that the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community -a community practicing understanding and loving kindness, a community practicing mindful living.

As long as we think our lives are not good enough (materially), we will not have happiness. As soon as we realize our lives are good enough, happiness immediately appears. That is the practice of contentment.
Nhat Hanh

If we take something to be the truth, we may cling to it so much that when the truth comes and knocks on our door, we won't want to let it in.
